How your skin works
Your skin regulates your body temperature, forms a physical barrier against injury and infection, and protects your internal organs. Here's how it works. |  | Why your skin is the colour it is
We’re all the same under the skin. But why is it that people from Europe, Asia and Africa all have skins of different colours? | | Why your skin changes colour
You can perk up pallor by slapping on self-tan or make-up, but your skin’s colour can also say much about your emotions and your state of health. | | Anatomy of the skin
There are two types of skin – hairy and glabrous. Glabrous skin occurs on your lips, the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands. Hairy skin is found everywhere else. |
